Functions of p120ctn isoforms in cell-cell adhesion and intracellular signaling [PDF]
, 2012 The functions of many organs depend on the generation of an epithelium. The transition from a set of loosely connected nonpolarized cells to organized sheets of closely associated polarized epithelial cells requires the assembly of specialized cell ...

Celsr1 adhesive interactions mediate the asymmetric organization of planar polarity complexes
eLife, 2021 To orchestrate collective polarization across tissues, planar cell polarity (PCP) proteins localize asymmetrically to cell junctions, a conserved feature of PCP that requires the atypical cadherin Celsr1. We report that mouse Celsr1 engages in both trans-

Holding it together: when cadherin meets cadherin
Biophysical Journal, 2021 Intercellular adhesion is the key to multicellularity, and its malfunction plays an important role in various developmental and disease-related processes. Although it has been intensively studied by both biologists and physicists, a commonly accepted definition of cell-cell adhesion is still being debated.

Functions of p120ctn in development and disease [PDF]
, 2012 p120 catenin (p120ctn), a component of the cadherin-catenin complex, was the first member to be identified in a most interesting subfamily of the Armadillo family. Several p120ctn isoforms are generated by alternative splicing.

Substrate stiffness and VE-cadherin mechano-transduction coordinate to regulate endothelial monolayer integrity. [PDF]
, 2017 The vascular endothelium is subject to diverse mechanical cues that regulate vascular endothelial barrier function. In addition to rigidity sensing through integrin adhesions, mechanical perturbations such as changes in fluid shear stress can also ...

Differential Regulation of Growth-Promoting Signalling Pathways by E-Cadherin [PDF]
, 2010 Background: Despite the well-documented association between loss of E-cadherin and carcinogenesis, as well as the link between restoration of its expression and suppression of proliferation in carcinoma cells, the ability of E-cadherin to modulate growth-

Toxins, 2019 Cry3Bb toxin from Bacillus thuringiensis is an important insecticidal protein due to its potency against coleopteran pests, especially rootworms. Cadherin, a protein in the insect midgut epithelium, is a receptor of Cry toxins; in some insect species ...

Cadherins as Matchmakers [PDF]
Neuron, 2011 Cadherins implement afferent-target matching in invertebrates, but proof for this concept in mammalian circuits has remained elusive. Two new studies in this issue of Neuron show that cadherin-6 mediates retinal ganglion cell target selection and that cadherin-9 promotes synapse specificity in the hippocampus.
